PARTNERSHIP WITH A FUTURE FOR SPECIALIST TRADE 

Based in Dortmund, NORDWEST Handel AG is all about establishing reliable partnerships with specialist dealers and industry in Germany and Europe. Since 1919, we have been one of the most high-performing trade associations in the industrial business-to-business (B2B) sector.  

Through their cooperation with us, our specialist trade and supplier partners benefit from a wealth of added values. NORDWEST supports them in procurement, financing, logistics, digitalisation, sales and marketing with tailor-made concepts. The core tasks for supporting our approximately 1,255 specialist trade partners from the areas of steel, construction, trades & industry and building services lie in the consolidation of purchasing volumes, central payment, a strong central warehouse and powerful services, particularly in the area of digitalisation. With our specialist trade partners, we serve countless customers representing almost all areas of industry, crafts and municipalities. Our supplier partners benefit from direct access to a large market and excellent sales opportunities for their assortments of stock articles and product innovations.
